Kennen wins Murcia and keeps the top spot

Aurora Jayce remains a top contender in the post-ban field. The Legend’s paid gear-readying supports repeated Platewyrm Egg activations to reach Dazzling Aurora, whose end-turn trigger can deploy Elder Dragon for a sweeping finish. That engine survives both bans. Surviving Kennen pressure remains a serious threat, and spending early turns on ramp still leaves a gap before Aurora produces a scorer.

LeBlanc remains a leading contender because its Deathknell-copying engine survives the bans. Karthus, Ruined Rex, and sacrifice effects can turn an established battlefield into repeated attackers and death payoffs without relying on Ekko, Recurrent. That rebuilding capacity seems to matter as players explore slower post-ban decks. Its results since the bans come from those non-Ekko builds, not the lost rune-reset loop. LeBlanc still needs a conquest or hold, a discard, and a suitable unit; temporary copies do not automatically leave territory defended.
